CHAMPAIGN, Ill. – Northwestern fell 4-3 to Illinois on the road on Sunday afternoon.
The Wildcats, ranked No. 37 in the country, fell to 12-7 and 7-2 in the Big Ten while Illinois, ranked No. 51, improved to 14-7 and 7-2.
The 'Cats started strong with a doubles point thanks to a 6-2 win from Clarisa Hand and Maria Shusharina at No. 1 and a clutch 7-5 win from Briana Crowley and Christina Hand at No. 3 after nearly an hour of play.
NU lead 2-0 after a quick 6-0, 6-1 win from Justine Leong at No. 6, and then went on to lead 3-2 after Sydney Pratt won 6-4, 6-2 at No. 3. Despite winning a set each in close battles, neither Ema Lazic nor Ch. Hand could pull out the fourth point on the road, and the Illini claimed a 4-3 win.
